What do you think? Surname will be Black.

He likes Eric Arthur but I'm not so keen.

Cutesy names like Archie, Alfie etc will soon sound dated imo.

Archie definitely. Although I would name him Archibald to be known as Archie.

Eric Black is much cooler than Archibald Black!

Yep, Archie is too cutesy, same vein as Charlie, Freddie, Alfie, Albie, etc etc. Somewhat insubstantial and will date. William is gorgeous.
William Eric or William Arthur. Archie doesn't fit with any of those.

Eric is better than Archie, which is diminutive and cutesy. Archer? Not the sort of name I'd normally go for, but it sounds rather good to me.

Archer is nice. Archie by itself is OK though.

I'm not keen on both Eric and Black ending in the same sound. Archie Black is fab.

They both sound cool. Just see which you prefer once he's here.

A few Archies in my family. Big tough Scotsmen - not cutesy!

Eric is much nicer.

I don't like Archie because it's cutesy & nicknamey. And the name it's derived from, Archibald, is awful.
